This episode of Clearer Calmer Wiser is for thoughtful people who lead with strength and humility, and sometimes feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, procrastination, or pressure to get everything right. Ben introduces “Mara,” the ancient Buddhist name for that internal voice that creeps in at 3:42 a.m. or triggers anxiety before tough decisions. Through grounded tools and stories—from executive clients to Serena Williams—Ben offers a daily reset to help you think clearer, act calmer, and lead wiser. Part one of a three-part series on the voice in your head: Know it. Name it. Love it.
